Amazon.com Review
Excellent as an example of the terrible results of the Holocaust and good for generating a discussion about prejudice and war. The ending is very sad, so the book is probably most suitable for slightly older children.

Product Description
A perfect introduction for children to Kristallnacht (the night of the broken glass) and the Holocaust. Lisa and Judith, one German and the other Jewish, are best friends, until the Nazi propaganda machine at school declares that "Jews cause all the problems in Germany!"

Great Holocaust Literature March 10, 2003
Hi! I am an eigth grader and am currently doing a Holocaust anthology project. I have used this book as one of my short stories. I would highly reccomend this book to anyone interested in the Holocaust or is doing a project. This book helped me learn how courageous Jews were and how much they were dedicated to their religion. It also taught me to value the friendships I have today. In conclusion, Best Friends is a great Holocaust book. It can teach you a lot. I would reccomend this book highly to anyone learning or teaching about the Holocaust. I really enjoyed reading it and hope you will to!! : )
